I Lost One Pound in One Week!

I've been away far too long and being unemployed, you'd think I'd post more. I've had 2 heart attack inducing events to deal with one of which I will dedicate an informational post to and soon and that's only because it will serve as a public service. Let's just say for now, it has to be worded ever so delicately to protect me if you will. It's partly why I haven't been visiting you guys and contributing my usual 2 cents worth.

Now for the weight loss. I'm not on a diet and one lost pound is nothing to cheer about, except if it's in yarn weight. The reason I didn't have a heart attack or lose my mind completely is because I had a project to protect me from the big bad world. And I knit Clapotisin one week people! This is the first truly wearable thing I knit for myself that I will actually wear. The reason I knit it in black? Because I will actually wear it. I joined the Second wave movement expecting to maybe finish it some time in this life, and events that tore a rift in my soul happened seemed to have accelerated the need to commit suicide/go on a 4 state killing spree/assume a new identity/crawl into a hole and die knit.

your ass couldn't look big if you highlighted it in gold...now girlfriend, i am usually really good at reading between the lines... but i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about?!!?that being said.... you go girl! it is deliciously incredible and I love it! I agree knitting things you can wear is truly empowering!you rock!

I can vouch for the fact that the Clappy goddess, Carol, knitted her creation in such a short time. I was there when it was but a wee triangular piece of blackness! And the comment about making your ass look big.... hahahahahaha. Your ass couldn't look big if you... well it just couldn't. Es loca!

Ok that clapotis is BEAUTIFUL!! I LOVE it in black!! Very chic and elegant. While the hand dyed yarns are gorgeous, the black will never go out of style and you'll be able to wear it for a LONG time. Great job!

I hope your life starts to even out a bit, sorry you're going thru a rough patch. Must be the season...
